Squishy FAQS
Why squishies are more than just a toy
AnswerSquishies aren't just satisfying to squeeze — they're a genuine sensory tool. The slow-rise foam and soft, stretchy texture provides tactile input that helps with:
- Stress and anxiety relief — the repetitive squeezing motion activates the body's calming response
- Focus and concentration — particularly helpful for kids and adults with ADHD or autism
- Emotional regulation — a go-to fidget tool recommended by occupational therapists
- Fine motor development — strengthening hand muscles through squeezing and stretching
That's why our squishy range is loved by parents, teachers, OTs, and collectors alike.

Are squishies safe for kids?
What are squishy toys?
Squishies are soft toys made from slow-rise polyurethane foam or TPR (thermoplastic rubber) that slowly return to their original shape after being squeezed. Originally popular in Japan, they've become a global sensation for both sensory play and stress relief.
Are squishies safe for kids?
All squishies in our range are made from non-toxic, BPA-free materials and meet Australian safety standards. We recommend squishies for children aged 3 and over, with adult supervision for younger children.
What is a dumpling squishy?
A dumpling squishy is a squishy toy shaped like a Chinese steamed dumpling (baozi). They went viral on TikTok in 2026 and are known for their extremely soft, slow-rise texture and adorable dumpling shape. We stock mystery dumpling packs and individual styles.
What's the difference between a NeeDoh and a squishy?
NeeDoh toys are filled with a dough-like compound inside a rubber shell, while traditional squishies are made entirely of slow-rise foam. Both provide satisfying tactile input — we stock NeeDoh alternatives that give you a similar feel with more variety in shape and design.
